A/HRC/27/63 37. Some concrete suggestions were made to review the verbs introducing the various paragraphs of the preamble and to replace “recalling” by “reaffirming” in some instances. 38. Non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders expressed their support for the inclusion in the preamble of a reference to the Declaration on the Right of Peoples to Peace as well as to the Declaration on the Right to Development. 39. Several non-governmental organizations requested the inclusion of a paragraph referring to the Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, which states that “since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed”, a statement also to be found in the Declaration on the Preparation of Societies for Life in Peace. They also suggested adding a reference to the United Nations Millennium Declaration (General Assembly resolution 55/2 of 8 September 2000). 40. One non-governmental organization proposed mentioning, in a new paragraph within the preamble, the right to life as enshrined in article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. B. Article 1 41. At its 2nd meeting, on 30 June 2014, the working group proceeded with the consideration of article 1 of the draft declaration. At the outset, the Chair-Rapporteur made reference to the instruments on which the article was based, namely, the Charter of the United Nations, the two International Covenants and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 42. A number of delegations welcomed the wording of the article and expressed support for its content. However, delegations discussed proposals to better balance individual and collective aspects of the proposed right. 43. Delegations proposed specific language to redraft the article in order to streamline its content. One delegation noted that a reference to terrorism was missing from the text and proposed specific language to be inserted. 44. Non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders favoured maintaining some notions included in the draft declaration on the right to peace prepared by the Advisory Committee, including peace education and training, the right to life and to develop peacefully in social and international order, and the prohibition of the use of force. C. Article 2 45. Introducing the discussion on article 2, the Chair-Rapporteur stated that human rights and fundamental freedoms, in particular the right to life, had been massively violated in the context of war and armed conflict. Accordingly, the article was grounded in the notion of human dignity and the principles of equality and non-discrimination, freedom from fear and from want, justice and the rule of law. He added that States should undertake measures to bring about, maintain and enhance conditions of peace for the benefit of people in need in situations of humanitarian crisis. 46. Several delegations highlighted the importance of recognizing the notion of human dignity, while expressing concern about the wording of the article, which intermingled elements relating to legal principles, aspirations and rights. They provided concrete suggestions to streamline the wording of the article. 9
